Plausible but why design and build a stage that requires that is beyond comprehension. A rigging pit would cost less than the premium for a dozen sets to be double purchased, not to mention the lifetime of extra work.
Weird. I've seem and contemplated for my venue single purchase electrics and double purchase standard battens... Would never consider going the other way. Why make your heaviest sets double is beyond me.
It is odd but my guess is the electrics were to be motorized - classic drum winch on the gallery under a tandem headblock - but budget cuts at end forced a late in construction change. A guess.
Unless they are building on bedrock blasting is expensive.
Perhaps but it seemed he was looking at plans for a space about to be built. Doubtful if designed for hemp in 2015.May have also been initially designed as a hemp rigging system and converted to counterweight later. A local college here has that issue.

You could be right.Ah, my mistake. I thought the OP was referring to specs for an existing theatre.
